Lifetime LED Headlights (Review)
#18
Something to think about for snow-belt dwellers.
A Canadian gentleman had some issues in an ice storm - his LED headlights were covered with ice every few minutes and required stopping to chip off the ice to let the light out again. Some/all LEDs do not generate enough heat to keep the lens melted and clear.

I put the same lights in as the O/P did...and I've had a few questions that I've taken up with Lifetime LED. Still working through it.
My biggest concern is how the bulb fits into the housing...where on one light, the low beam lights up the inside portion of the housing, while on the other light...the low beam lights up the outside portion. So, I would imagine the beam produced is inconsistent. I feel the beam should be lighting up the housing top and bottom...not left and right.
Pics:
Passenger side, lights up the inside portion of the housing.
Driver side, lights up the outside portion of the housing:
Like I said, Im still working with Lifetime LED to figure it out.
As far as the light produced, I like it a lot better than the HID's I had in there before. The HID's scatter and produce too much glare and blinding light. The way the LED's are made, they have a much better beam pattern for useful light...
The light is a close match to my 20" LED light bar in the bumper, so Im happy with that.
Ill post an update when I figure out what the situation is with the position of the bulbs.

Haha I'm just giving you a hard time. I remember one picture had some pretty blue lights. But it could be camera trickery from all that snow.
These throw pretty good light so far. Lit up my friends garage in the middle of the day. As far as pattern, I'll have to aim my headlights.
Can you not leave your lights in auto with HIDs?
Are you getting a brand new F150? They come with LED headlights now.

In the auto setting even with a Relay pack when the starter engages the HIDs are just starting up and sucking a lot of power its hard on the ballets and you can sometimes only have one light up. so to avoid the issue i just turn them on the old fashion way.
and no the f-150 is a 2011

Look at the design of the reflector. There is almost no reflector on the top and bottom. Its reflective, but doesnt aim. These 05-07 headlights are side to side reflectors. If any changes are made it should light inside and outside rather than left and right.

Still doesnt help that they are in the housing at a 45 degree angle and not horizontal......high beam and low beam dont point directly side to side.

Based on the before and after I think the sweet spot is a tad bit higher then the second picture. Have you gotten flashed by oncoming drivers? Definitely looks perfect against your bar
